The difference between fishing from a boat, or wading is like night and day. Simply put, one is wet the other dry. Or better yet, while fishing from a boat you are insulated from things like getting hit by a stingray or worse picking up the flesh-eating virus known as Vibrio Vulnificus.
Up until about five years ago wading was the go-to option for thousands of anglers along the Texas coast. But something has happened. Fishermen are reluctant to get out of the boat. Why? Who knows.
